Hi All, especially the taxonomists on the list,
I was talking with a colleague from Vietnam about carnivorous plants and he
said that there is a CP he was very familiar with when he was growing up.
What he went on to describe was a Venus Flytrap, but with the following
differences:
1. The petiole was a very slender thread, sort of like a blade of grass.
2. The traps were more oval shaped. 3. The plant was tropical or
subtropical. There was no dormant season.
In all other respects, it was a VFT, exactly, in size, behavoir, etc. He
described it as fairly common in the fields and other open areas and swampy
areas, but never in the forest/jungle.
Is this a known plant? What is it called?
Thanks,
Ted Hadley
